"World - A Birth Of A Nation" was a play written by Wayne County and directed by Tony Ingrassia. Stage Manager was Leee Black Childers. The play was billed as a "homosexual fantasy" and was intended to present the audience with so much sexual content that any shock value was eliminated.

Wayne played two characters - Florence Nitingale and Ethel Nitingale (Florence's sister). The play also featured Cherry Vanilla (billed under her original name of Cathy Dorritie) who played a necrophiliac nurse by the name of Tilly Tons.

The play was set in a hospital and dealt with the castration of the male sex. The patients in the hospital all had psychological problems and the play dealt with various sexual perversions and fetishes.

A number of the scenes were highly controversial featuring such things as a member of the cast urinating on stage, necrophilia with a dead dog and John Wayne giving birth to a baby out of his anus.

Cherry Vanilla's character Tilly carried around a shoe box which contained a dead puppy. Tilly would dry hump the dead puppy and say "Please don't die little puppy, please don't die". She would also dry hump anybody else who died during the play.

"World - A Birth of a Nation" was well received and those who attended during its run included Andy Warhol who subsequently cast Wayne in his play "Pork".
